Can't play Gunz behind router? Lag too much? Read this fix!

I've discovered the fix for people who can't play Gunz behind a router that has built-in firewall that can't be disabled. If you join any game and only find yourself moving and everyone else just freeze there, this guide will show you how to fix it so you can play Gunz behind your Firewall Router, it will also help reduce lag and allow you to play Gunz with multiple machines behind your router.

No offence, i don't really feel like registering an unknown site to read the instructions. It would be smarter if you just pasted the instructions instead of making us take the time of registering and such.

I originally played Gunz at my friend's house behind a router, everything works fine there. When I got home, nothing works, whenever I join a game, only I move and everyone else just freeze there. Even DMZ server doesn't work, so I spent hours trying to figure out what's wrong by modifying windows and router settings. Finally, I tried opening the port on the router, and that fixed everything. I have never encounter any game that doesn't work behind DMZ. I suspect that Gunz is Peer to Peer based, and the server is only for saving character informations, that's why you are able to login to the server but unable to play the game. Smart move for MAIET for saving their server resources and bandwidth, but that cost them to lose popularity, because many people behind a router with built-in firewall that can't be disabled were not able to play the game. It also made it easy to for hackers to hack the game because of this game's network protocol, that cost discouragement to the players who doesn't use hacks. Great job on MAIET, they really nailed themselves on this one.

Step 2:
Login to your router's configuration page, look at the screenshot below, change YourlanIPhere to your LAN (Local Area Network, ex: 192.168.0.100) IP address and click Apply.http://www.shintasoft.com/images/gunzrouterfix.jpg
This screenshot is taken from a DLINK router, but you should be able to do this with any brand of router.

Optional Step:
If you have multiple PCs and would like to play Gunz on all of them, just do Step 1 and 2 using a different port and LAN IP address (ex: 7701 - 7701, 192.168.0.101).

lol wat a joke.
try playing any game behind a strict firewall that allows only port 80 and that you cannot change. example : universities, some companies etc
I know how, and let me tell its no "open port" noobsauce joke.
